aus spec 86

bought this quite a long time ago, for $2,000 AUD.
i bought it in victoria from some guy who just bought a new 4x4 and needed to get rid of this one to make room.
i dont think he knew what kind of fan base this car had. i called him up minutes after he posted a internet ad, and arranged to inspect the car at 6:30am the next morning, he agreed and i put a deposit on it when i got there.
it had a minor scratch on the left side but it was very long, so we had that side repainted.

came with 117,000kms. its white with black bumpers. its in pretty good condition. i just wish i knew more about cars so i could mod it up. heh. i tried to put a Momo sports racing steering wheel in to get rid of the awful stock wheel, but the spacer they gave me was the wrong size.. bastards... anyway;

Nice buy! Looks mint. If you want to mod your car do some research and ask around, you'll find most people are friendly and willing to help. It's not that hard just gotta get your hands dirty. I'm only just getting into it myself.

[djscheppy]

well hopefully i can get it lowered a bit since people are always telling me it sits pretty high. atm im worried about my engine since it seems VERY loud and clanky and i read in another thread some one heard a clicking noise and his engine exploded. thinking of getting a digital video w/ sound uploaded so someone can give me some extra info.

[phrostbyte]

Very nice buy man. Where are you located? If in vic I could probably drop by and make sure you don't have an engine that wants to explode http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

remember to start the car for a for a wile first and let it warm up.
you will get more of the shitty old out and it flows out better and then undo the sump plug
